The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this morning’s ballistic missile launch at Israel.

In a statement, the group claims to have targeted a “vital target” in central Israel.

The IDF says the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

The Houthis vow to continue attacks on Israel until “the aggression on the Gaza Strip stops.”
